Alberta Fisheries Management Round Table
Last Update/Review: October 9, 2008
The Alberta Fisheries Management Round Table is a provincial-level stakeholder advisory and consultation forum. This Round Table is made up of approximately 40-50 representatives of stakeholder groups related to fishing and fish conservation and management, representing anglers and commercial and domestic fishers, aboriginal peoples, the sportfishing industry, guides, and outdoor writers.
The Round Table typically convenes in the spring and fall of each year to tackle substantive issues related to fisheries management. As an example, one of the present challenges of the Round Table is to lead the way in a public consultation process to define what “Fishing in the 21st Century” should look like in Alberta.
